Objective To construct an intelligent analysis system based on visual attention for diabetic retinopathy ( DR) assistant diagnosis and to realize the automatic screening and grading of fundus images of DR. Methods Total of 35126 DR fundus images were downloaded from the Diabetic Retinopathy Detection competition in the Data Modeling and Data Analysis Competition Platform (Kaggle),and 1200 fundus images were downloaded from the Messidor website. Firstly,according to the characteristics of DR fundus images,a series of preprocessing was carried out for retina images. Then,on the basis of VGG16 network,visual attention SENet module was introduced to improve the saliency of lesion features,and a deep convolution neural network SEVGG with complex network structure was generated. The network basically inherited some structural parameters of VGG16,and the parameters of SENet module were adjusted according to the basic network and training data set. Finally, the SEVGG network model was used to screen the DR fundus image,and the fundus image was divided into different levels according to the degree of lesions of DR in different periods. Configure the training platform and environment and perform algorithm performance verification experiments. Results The method proposed in this study was tested on different open standard datasets,and finally achieved high accuracy in image-based classification. The accuracy of 5 classification in Kaggle dataset was 83%,the sensitivity of lesion detection was 99. 86% and the specificity was 99. 63%. The accuracy rate of the 4 classification in the Messidor data set was up to 88%,the sensitivity of the lesion detection was 98. 17%,and the specificity was 96. 39%. The introduction of visual attention was more significant for the focus of the lesion,which helped the accurate detection of DR. Conclusions This method effectively avoids some shortcomings of traditional artificial feature extraction and fundus image classification,and is more accurate for lesion recognition. It is not only superior to the previous method,but also shows better robustness and generalization.

Purpose To investigate the expression of autophagy-related protein LC3B in cervical squamous carcinoma and its relation-ship with Ki-67 expression. Methods To detect the expression of LC3B in 16 cases of normal cervical tissues and 126 cases of squa-mous cell carcinoma by immunohistochemical staining. In addition, Ki-67 protein was also detected in 126 cases of squamous cell car-cinoma in the same assay. The relationship between LC3B expression and Ki-67 in cervical squamous cell cancer was statistical analy-sis. Results Expression level of LC3B were significantly lower in cervical squamous carcinoma than normal squamous epithelial cells (P<0. 05), and the expression of LC3B was negatively correlated with Ki-67(rs = -0. 248, P<0. 05). Conclusion It appears that decreased levels of autophagy which indicated by low expression of LC3B may promote cancer cell proliferation in the early stages of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, which provides a clinical referential evidence for further explore the mechanism of autophagy in cer-vical cancer development.

[Objective] To investigate the therapeutic status of laparoscopic management for gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones. [Methods] A Retropective study were adopted to analysize the therapeutic scheme,effect for patients with gallbladder stones and common bile duct stones who were treated from January 1996 to September 2004. [Results] 68 cases were diagnosed, and most of them underwent single stage laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and common bile duct exploration (LC BDE). A few of them were treated through endoscopic procedure in combination with LC, or open surgery when the minimal invasive surgery failed. [Conclusions] Both them indicated that patients by LC+LCBDE have shorter hospital stay, easier recovery and less complications. LC+LCBDE has obvious advantage over the other methods with appropriate operative time and high success rate. For choledochlithiasis patients, the single laparoscopic management should be a better, major option.
